Timide est ma sérénade
Shy is my serenade
Timide est ce grand amour
Shy is this great love
Qui dans mon cœur se ballade
Who strolls in my heart
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose, je n'ose
But I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare
Je n'ose jamais lui dire
I never dare to tell him
L'amour qu'il a mis en moi
The love he has placed in me
Je voudrais bien lui sourire
I would like to smile at him
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose pas
But I don't dare, I don't dare not
Vous Madame la Lune qui êtes mon ami
You, Madam Moon, who are my friend
Plaignez mon infortune et dites-lui
Pity my misfortune and tell him
Et dites-lui pour moi
And tell him for me
Que je l'aime, je l'aime, je l'aime
That I love him, I love him, I love him
Mais que je n'ai plus de courage
But that I have no more courage
Quand je le vois devant moi
When I see him in front of me
Je sais bien que c'est dommage
I know well that it's a shame
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose pas
But I don't dare, I don't dare
Vous qui veillez comme un doux réverbère
You who watch like a gentle streetlight
Sur les amours et les joies de la terre
Over the loves and joys of the earth
Faites pour moi qu'il entende ma voix
Make it so that he hears my voice
Que sans vous, que sans vous jamais il n'écoutera
That without you, that without you he will never listen
Timide est ma sérénade
Shy is my serenade
Timide est ce grand amour
Shy is this great love
Qui dans mon coeur se ballade
That wanders in my heart
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose, je n'ose
But I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare
Je n'ose jamais lui dire
I never dare to tell him
L'amour qu'il a mis en moi
The love he has placed in me
Je voudrais bien lui sourire
I would like to smile at him
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose pas
But I don't dare, I can't dare
Vous Madame la Lune qui êtes mon ami
You, Madame Moon, who are my friend
Plaignez mon infortune et dites-lui
Pity my misfortune and tell him
Et dites-lui pour moi
And tell him for me
Que je l'aime, je l'aime, je l'aime
That I love him, I love him, I love him
Mais que je n'ai plus de courage
But that I have no more courage
Quand je le vois devant moi
When I see him in front of me
Je sais bien que c'est dommage
I know well it's a shame
Mais je n'ose, je n'ose pas
But I don't dare, I don't dare
Mais je n'ose je n'ose pas
But I don't dare, I don't dare
Dites-lui
Tell him
Dites-lui
Tell him
Tout l'amour qu'il a mis en moi
All the love he has placed in me
